“Evil is boring. Right? I kinda believe in the banality and mundaneness of evil. Evil is just selfish impulses, which at the end of the day are really easy to understand. It's easy to understand why people do bad things. It's like "Yeah, okay, you're selfish and scared and cruel, I get it." Being good is complex and beautiful and hard.”
― Brennan Lee Mulligan

“An onion is a beautiful thing. Have you ever really looked at an onion?”

“The wolf caught me in his jaws
but when I cried out,

“There is a loneliness to illness, a child's desire to be pitied and seen. But it is precisely this recognition that is elusive.

― Meghan O'Rourke, The Invisible Kingdom: Reimagining Chronic Illness
